chapter 7 Flashcards
cartilage is?
avascular bc the ecm provides all nutrients
ecm
solid and firm bc proteoglycans bear all weight
hyaline cartilage
-type 2 collagen
-proteoglycans
-multiadhesive groups
-fibrocartilage (type 1)
-has spaces/ lacunae
-synovial joints
-WILL NOT REPAIR ITSELF
TENASCINA ND FIBRONECTIN
ANCHOR CHON OT MATRIX
collagen types
-type 2
-type 9
-type 6
type 6
attached chon to matrix
3 types of proteoglycans
-hyluron
-chroitin sulfate
-keratan sulfate
hyluron
forms large proteoglycan (aggregan)
-allows diffusion
-formation of chon
-lets chon bear weight because of water movement
core protein
makes proteoglycan monomer (has a neg charge)
what do chon detect?
changes in the matrix that trigger ecm turnover
isogenous groups
-groups of chon
-cells recently divided
-secrete metanoprotionase (an enzyme that breaks down cartilage)
cytoplasmic basophilia
in chon, responsible for protein synth
does the ecm stain?
stains unevenly therefore the matrix is not a homogenous mixture
staining regions of chon
-capsular
-territorial
-interterritorial matrix
capsular/ pericellular matrix
-has the highest concentration of sulfates and therefore proteoglycans
-type 6 collagen
-also some type 9
type 6
binds integrin recptors on the cell surface and anchors the chon to the ecm
territorial
-surrounds isogenous groups
-type 2
-less type 9 than capsular layer
-stains less bc it has less sulfate and therefore less proteoglycans
interterritorial
surrounds the territorial and is btwn the groups of chon
endochondrial ossification
hyaline cart
remaining cart after growth
-becomes epiphyseal plate and adults have articular cartilage on ribs, nose, and trachea
